Cubs’ title defense begins in DC vs. Nats

A year ago, the Cubs faced the task of erasing 108 years of frustration, which they did with a memorable run at a World Series championship. The Nationals’ entire existence in Washington spans only 13 seasons, but with another October comes another opportunity to accomplish something the franchise has never done: Win a series, or better yet, three.

Two teams, one goal, with Game 1 of the National League Division Series presented by T-Mobile set tonight. (7:30 p.m. ET, 6:30 p.m. CT, TBS).
